Gavin Mortimer was born in London and now divides his time between the British capital and Paris. After a youth spent on the sports field, Gavin began writing full-time in 1996 and has since contributed to a broad cross-section of publications, from Esquire to the Times and from BBC History Magazine to Men’s Fitness. His first adult non-fiction book, Shackleton, was published in 1999 and he has written a further seven, including the bestselling ‘The Longest Night: Voices from the Blitz’ and the award-winning ‘The Great Swim’. In addition, Gavin has written nearly a dozen children’s books, on subjects as diverse as the Aztecs and cricket. He has lectured on Ernest Shackleton and the SAS in World War Two to, among others, IBM, Allen & Overy and the National Army Museum.
